Wine 6.0.1 on Zorin OS 15.3

[Stickbug]

I currently have Zorin 15.3 lite on an old desktop. I want the ability to run windows apps. However, I cannot install wine for the life of me. Below is the issue i face when installing it from the  winehq.org directions.

 

hpmain@hpmain:~$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 
[sudo] password for hpmain:      
hpmain@hpmain:~$ wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
File ‘winehq.key’ already there; not retrieving.

hpmain@hpmain:~$ sudo apt-key add winehq.key
OK
hpmain@hpmain:~$ sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 6.0.1~bionic-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

 

Uh, is there any way to fix this? when I try to install wine-stable it just gives me more dependencies, and MORE, and it just keeps going.

It can also say that it acknowledges certain files but says "but it will not be installed" why not?

That is a problem with Zorin. You have broken packages. Thankfully apt provides a way to resolve such issues.

 

Maybe try:

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get update --fix-missing

sudo apt-get install -f

 

 

 

Try using playonlinux and/or lutris
